TURIN, Italy, Sept 26 (Reuters) - ChatGPT-maker OpenAI

CEO Sam Altman said on Thursday the recent departure of top

executives from the company had nothing to do with its planned

restructuring.

OpenAI's longtime chief technology officer Mira Murati

abruptly announced her departure from the company on Wednesday.

Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, has also been on leave.

On Wednesday Reuters reported OpenAI was working on a plan

to restructure its core business into a for-profit benefit

corporation that will no longer be controlled by its non-profit

board, in a move aimed at making the company more attractive to

investors.
